Ronald,

I'd recommend you practice ATM for a day or two through an on-line rack ($50
per day, or less). If you really feel you must buy atm for home, go for two
4700 routers; MultiMode OC3 modules will run about $900 each; SingleMode
modules will run about $400 each. Either will work the same, but must plug
into a switch with matching modules; so better buy the switch first so you
know your switch has the less common SingleMode interfaces; if the switch
only has MultiMode interfaces, then you'll have to buy multimode interfaces
for your routers.

Your choice of switches are Lightstream 1010 ($1500-3000, depending on the
weather) or older version Lightstream 100 ($300-700). Both will do PVCs and
SVCs. Or you could buy some other brand of ATM switch for $200-500.

Another option: just set up two ATM routers, no switch. You can do PVCs
(including QOS) but not SVCs. That would give a good understanding of ATM,
then you could get rack time to study SVCs. It would only take a few hours.

HTH, Kym
